SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,615, dated March 16, 18810.

Application filed August 6, 1879.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH KINTZ, of West Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and Improved Lamp-Body, of which the following is a specification.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the lampbody. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the handle. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line as m, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a transverse section on line y y, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to provide a lamp stand or body of separate parts that fit within or over each other and are held together by one bolt, and to provide detachable handles or side ornaments therefor.

The invention consists in constructing the stand or body of the lamp of several plain or ornamental pieces that fit within or over each other, and in indenting or scalloping the edges of those parts that rest on shoulders within other parts, so that the indentations or scallops shall clear or stride any small lumps or projections that may accidentally be left on the said shoulders when the parts are prepared for assembling, and so that the lamp-stand can readily be put together in a perfectly upright position; and it further consists of a pcculiar device for securing the handles or ornaments to the lamp-body, as will hereinafter be described. I

In the drawings, A represents the base of the stand, provided with a horizontal rib, a.

- B is a frusto'conical section of the stand set upon the base and having its upper edge indented, as shown. in Fig. 4 at I). C is a ring or collar shouldered internally, as shown, and set upon the upper edge of the part B, and supporting also the lower edge of the part or section D, that is shouldered, as shown at c. The lower edge of this conical section D is also indented for purposes above described, as shown at s, Fig. 3.

E isthe larger part of the 1amp-body, and its lower and indented edge, 01, rests upon the internal shoulder in the section D, while the cap or top F of the stand fits over its upper indented edge.

G is the socket for receiving the stem of the lamp-fount, and down through this and all the other parts of the stand and through the rib a is passed the screw-rod H, and the parts are all drawn and held firmly together by tightly screwing the nutf on the said screwrod, as shown.

The part E is notched or cut away at the op posite points g, andperforated at h to receive the notched lugs m m of the handles I. These lugs are entered into the notches and perforations and pressed downward, so that the notches in m tightly embrace the lower edge of the holes h, and the edge of the cap F enters the upper notches in m, so that when the parts are drawn together by the screw-rod and nut the handles are immovably fixed in a vertical plane. The lugs are also furnished with horizontal arms la, that bear against the inner surface of the part E and prevent lateral movement.

Ornaments of various kinds may be attached to the stand in the same manner as are the handles, and the various parts of the stand may be plain or ornamental, as may be desired.

1 do not claim, broadly, a lamp put together in sections or with shoulder-joints; but

What I do claim is- 1. The combination,in a lamp-body, with the upper sections, G and E, and the rod H, section D, and base A B, having indentations b, of the internally-shouldered ring C, as shown and described.

2. The section E, having the indented edge cl, and shouldered externally near the lower end, in combination with an internally-shoul dered conical section, D, as shown and described.

3. The section E, cut away at opposite points g, and perforated at h, in combination with handles I, having notched lugs m m and arms is, as shown and described.
